pjgj13 30 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) I can understand most of the reason the Wings lost to the Coyotes. They were looking forward to nearly a week off and just wanted the game to end. I understand the refs miss calls and nobody is perfect. But, if they call these STUPID holding and hooking calls (and to an extent interference), how can the NOT call (at least some of these), the crosscheck on Cleary (2 or 3 times in a row), the slash, KICK and trip Bryzgalov did on Homer and even the incident where Stuart was injured could have been interference. How can they NOT call at least 1/2 of them? I mean the reason the league went with 2 refs is to catch everything but you got better results with just the 1 ref. Take a break guys and come out firing on all cylinders!! I forgot to add the hook of Pavs. It looked more like a bodycheck than anything else.

egroen 384 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 I think these guys really need the break, and it could not be coming at a better time. Hopefully we see a brand new Red Wings team (especially on defense and goaltending) going into the homestretch. It would be really nice to lock up home-ice advantage. Holmstrom is open game - I have just come to accept that; and my respect for him continues to grow because he has also accepted that. How much longer can he possibly do this? Ciccareli stuck it out for a ong time, if that is any indication. There should not have been any call at all on the Stuart injury, just bum luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 To be fair, missed calls are part of every sport. For every missed call against the 'yotes they could probably point out a missed call against the Wings. Last night the Red Wings got as many points as they deserved. When a quarter of your team shows up for the game you're not going to win it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveyzerman 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) One referee was & would be the best way to go. You get more consistancy through out the game that way. I hate having two refs. Especially, when there's a call in the corners & it comes from a ref at center ice. That's ridiculous. Boo to the two referee system.

I thought the 2 ref system was going to be the best thing since sliced bread when it 1st was announced. But it needs to go. That way with only needing 1/2 the refs, the crappy ones go to the minors while the good ones stay. No more, the ref at center ice called the penalty in the corner, while the one in the corner called nothing. Sometimes it is the right call (the hit on Pavs the other night), but most of the time, it is horses***. I bet if Homer farted on Bryzgalov he would have gotten a 5 mintue major for intent to injure....lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
